Takashi's POV

she stood there in all her glory.

Rei..

"what is going on?.." she asked looking at all of us

"They want to stay and I'm letting them." Yasmin responded to her

"What?! Yasmin no-" Rei became but never finished

"Nope, I want to see how this places out. now we'll speak no more on the matter.." Yasmin said in a voice that said it was final and she would not change her mind, after that she walked away

my eyes flickered on Rei. she looked broken.

I just wanted to wrap her up in my arms.

but it also stung. she wanted us away that badly?...

what did we ever do to make her hate us?...

she looked up to glare at me being stomping off with Katelynn following behind her..

"She's not happy to see us." Alice spoke sadly

I felt bad..terrable even. it wasn't them that she was upset to see..

it was me...she glared directly at me..

"No...it's Takashi." Saya pointed out.

"Takashi...did anything happen before Rei disappeared?.." I thought about it..

no everything was fine. we didn't fight.

all we did was talk the night before she left...

- Flash Back -

we had just found safely in Saya's home.

things felt normal for a while. they truly did.

but yesterday, Rei confessed to me.

I didn't know what to make of it. should I be mad?...should I be bouncing with joy? I didn't know.

if it was before the outbreak. I would have known my answer...but now...I have no idea

knock!

I turned to look at the door telling whoever it was to come in.

turns out it was Rei.

"Takashi...can we talk?..." she asked

"About yesterday?..." I answered her question with a question.

"No, a whole new topic...you do know I care for you right Takashi?.." where was this coming from?

"Of course" I answered wanting to keep it short.

"That no matter what I always will.." again confusing filled me

"Well.." I couldn't be sure. I doubted her once. I still do sometimes

"Well please know it! i care for you so much Takashi you will never know!" she sounded panicked ...did she really want me to know that badly?

why now?

"Alright alright I believe you Rei." I felt the bed shift alerting me that she sat down on it.

"Good." she let out a sigh "Takashi..no matter what happened next...move forward..for me okay?"

"Rei...what is this all about?"

"promise me..."

"I promise."

- End OF flashback -

she said goodbye...

sorry..it isn't long...i really have writers block on this. i just felt bad it's been awhile with no updates so...this is for you guys..
